Chanel - Vertigo

  Hi! Very happy to be doing a blog post. Made it through my first week of classes and it was rough! Much rougher than expected. I expect I will settle into some sort of routine soon enough...no? Maybe not. I have 5 classes with all pretty intense syllabi. Really mad that the one elective I took for enjoyment seems to be one of the more intense with papers and assignments... fail.

 Anyway, Chanel Vertigo from the fall '12 collection is a gorgeous charcoal grey shade. I definitely saw some purple undertones on it. There's also a red shimmer in the bottle, that you will only see there. It does NOT translate on the nail unless you catch some SUPER sunlight, which I did for these pictures (as well as my camera really picked it up) I know you can barely see it in my pics anyway, but trust me that it is exaggerated. Kind of sad, but if you just look forward to it for it being a gorgeous grey creme you won't be disappointed.



2 coats. Terrifically smooth formula.

    Glad you made it through your first week of school. Good luck with all your classes! Bummer that the shimmer isn't more visible, but it's still a beautiful gray! :-)

    I really like this on you! Can you believe I don't own a single Chanel yet? I need one to knock my socks off before I can justify it ;-) Hope you get used to your new routine...it sounds scary AND exciting! So happy for you :)

    Ahh...all the college start backs brings back memories. 'My' USC has their football season opener today and finally we are out from behind the penalty we were under for 2 yrs. I just cannot bring myself to pay the Chanel price for this one (or for many now the price went up even higher). I own some but other than maybe 1, none are even in my top 20 favs.
    Wish the red and purple in this one translated to the nail. Best of luck this semester.

    Chanel is always my weakness, no difference with this one.. I always feel like I NEED their shades! This looks great on you.
